Viewing Shapes changing colors after hovering

Shapes changing colors after hovering



User: pumpkin 12 years ago
I think there was a similar topic already (not sure), but I don't find it anymore, so here goes.

I use shapes for my navigation, that are set to a blueish background color and a mouseover colour which remains when the site is active. Now, when I hover over the shapes and back, the blueish background darkens.

Here's a video to show the issue:

The annoying white flashing seen on mouse out in your menu is caused by the fact that you are using images.

Another user has contacted me about the same problem after seeing yours. His is different in that it is with the EW default menu but with hover. This can be fixed using CSS.

In your case, because you have created a bunch of divs with rollovers it's not so easy.

Was there a particular reason why you created your navigation in this rather unorthodox way?

I created it this way because it's not possible doing it with the EW default menu widget. At least not without digging deeper into the css to modify it I guess, which I'm not really capable of doing.

The flashing to white issue should be fixed for the next version.

@ Darian
Creating a menu this way is really inefficient. Apart from the fact that each block needs its own positioning info, the browser has to load up to four images for each one if you use different colors for mouseover, down, up and out.

Since you have lost the convenience of the self generating default menu anyway, why not just use a proper navigation with HTML in a snippet and the styles either internal in the doc head or on an external stylesheet? That way you can use hex color numbers instead of all these images.

@ Paul

Are you referring to the white flash of the page background when using rollovers or in the default menu - or both?

Using a html snippet to create an own navigation menu sounds like a good idea. I'm on honeymoon the next week though, so I'll try to fiddle with this the week after. Any help appreciated of course ;)

See you in 10 days :)
